Abstract
The influence of vibronic coupling on the average paramagnetism and the paramagnetic anisotropy of a cubic complex, the electronic ground state 2T2 of which is perturbed by a trigonal field, is investigated. It is necessary to introduce the following parameters: the spin-orbit coupling coefficient λ, the vibronic coupling coefficient x, the frequency ħω g3 of the E modes of vibration, the splitting Δ of the 2 T 2 level in the trigonal field and the covalence parameter k.
For given x and \(\varrho \left( { = \frac{{3\lambda }}{{2h\omega _\varepsilon }}} \right)\), the influence of the vibronic coupling is more important if in the trigonal field the electronic ground state of the complex is 2E than if it is 2A. For given x and v (=Δ/λ), the smaller ¦ρ¦, the greater the influence of vibronic coupling. The respective effects of vibronic coupling and covalence are compared. Finally, the case of the first row transition-metal complexes is briefly discussed.
